Something about Las Vegas

Las Vegas is considered one of the brightest cities in the world, thanks to its over 15,000 km of neon lights, and its nighttime lights are so intense that they can be seen from space. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS), located about 400 km above the Earth, have confirmed that they can clearly distinguish Las Vegas at night due to the density and brightness of its artificial lights. Other major illuminated cities are also visible from spacecraft, but Las Vegas stands out particularly because it is situated in a dark desert area, which enhances its brilliance. However, due to excessive lighting, people in the city cannot see the stars.
